Intent in Notification does not change

Question

I have an alarm receiver that does some checks and then creates a Notification for each check. This means it can create more than one Notification. This all works fine. However, I have an Intent connected to the notification to start an activity when the notification is tapped.

This is the notification code:

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, CHANNEL_OUTPUT_LEVELS)
                .setSmallIcon(icon)
                .setContentTitle(title)
                .setContentText(message)
                .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
                        .bigText(longmessage))
                .setContentIntent(getPendingIntent(solarEdge, reason))
                .setAutoCancel(true)
                .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT);

NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(context);

// notificationId is a unique int for each notification that you must define
// we use the installation's ID to make sure all notifications get sent
notificationManager.notify(solarEdge.getInfo().getId(), mBuilder.build());

The method that creates the PendingIntent is:

private PendingIntent getPendingIntent(SolarEdge solarEdge, int reason) {
    String apikey = solarEdge.getApikey();
    int installationId = solarEdge.getInfo().getId();

    Intent intent = new Intent(context, InstallationActivity.class);
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
    intent.putExtra(EXTRA_API_KEY, apikey);
    intent.putExtra(EXTRA_INSTALLATION_ID, installationId);
    intent.putExtra(EXTRA_REASON, reason);

    return PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
}

Problem I have, is that even I create a different intent, it still always calls the Activity with the same extras (apikey and installid). It always takes the first one created.

Answer 1

It seems that the problem is caused by the arguments you passed to the getActivity method.

Try the following code

PendingIntent.getActivity(context, <unique_value_per_every_call>, intent, 0);

The second argument is requestCode so it should be unique.
